Try it Sometime
Years ago I read Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. I read it with a pen and paper in hand and I made a list of all the things I wanted to change about myself....the list was long.
But here's what I remembered the most from the list...the instructions were simple....
Do Something nice for someone else, and tell no one about it!
Sounds easy right? It's not!
We live in a society that craves reward. We yearn for that pat on the back. We thrive for the "way to go kid." So to do something completely selfless and tell no one about it is much harder then you would imagine.
Now I live most of my life from this room, so there is very little opportunity for such an action, but when an occasion does present itself, I do my best to jump on it. I try to always be on the look out for that one nice thing I can do to help someone else out, with out being caught....and I do it. I try to do it swiftly and unnoticed...like a superhero! It feels good....but I will admit that the hardest part is not to tell anyone that I have done it.
Try it sometime.....I bet you become addicted.
